This is Riley Howell. He was one of the shooting victims at UNCC who died. He died a hero. He jumped on the shooter to try and stop him and was shot and killed in the process. He may not have stopped the shooter but he occupied him while others were able to get to safety and giving police time to get to the shooter. Pass this on in honor of Riley Howell.
